Volcano Day!

The duo is fascinated over volcano, influenced by the junior encyclopedic that I've been reading with them. Since I'm now having much free time as I had began my career break, I decided to surprise them with a man made volcano... It's so easy & so much fun to make with the kiddos!

What you need:

• an empty bottle (or a kid's cup)

• a large tray (to hold the "larva")

• aluminum foil

• red food coloring

• Soda powder / soda bicarbonate

• vinegar - used the cheapest on shelf will do

Psss.... In case you noticed some differences in the pictures below, that's because our first experiment failed. I used baking soda instead of soda powder! Failed experiment gave a learning point too. ;)

First, we setup the volcano with the aluminum foil.

Next, added the soda powder.

Then, some red coloring.

Now, vinegar... And watch it explodes!

Little C started screaming..

"Volcano!", she yelled.

"Run for your life!!", screamed a villager.

Now, go try it with your little scientist wanna be. It's a simple experiment that cost less than RM5 but the little ones will super love you for it!

HELLO. 你好. BONJOUR

I truly enjoy the times spent with my little ones, Captain E and Princess C, the generous suppliers of laughter that provide energy booster to my hectic work life. This is my space for spreading fun and creativity vibes to all the parents who love their kiddos, crafty bugs who enjoy DIY and handmade, or any individual who seeks inspirations and ideas.

I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them. Happy to share! :)
